      <p>
    In this example entity objects, rather than key and value
	objects, are used for adding and enumerating the records in a
	collection. Because fewer classes and objects are involved, adding
	and enumerating is done more conveniently and more simply than in
	the prior examples.
</p>
      <p>
    For adding and iterating entities, the collection of entities
	returned by 
    <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#values" target="_top">Map.values</a>
    
	is used. In general, when using an entity binding, all Java
	collection methods that are passed or returned a value object will
	be passed or returned an entity object instead.
</p>
      <p>
    The <code class="classname">Sample</code> class has been changed in this example to add
	objects using the 
    <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Set.html#add" target="_top">Set.add</a>
    
	method rather than the 
    <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#put" target="_top">Map.put</a>
    
	method that was used in the prior examples. Entity objects are
	constructed and passed to 
    <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Set.html#add" target="_top">Set.add</a>.
